Pineapple Teriyaki Instant Pot Salmon

Step 1

Drizzle a small cake pan with olive oil.

Step 2

Place the salmon fillets in the pan.

Step 3

Spread 1 tablespoon of teriyaki sauce on each fillet. And throw in the pineapple chunks.

Step 4

Pour 1 cup of water into the Instant pot inner pot. Place a rack on the bottom and put the pan with salmon.

Step 5

Close the lid and set the Instant Pot for 8 min on high with NPR. (It took about 6min for my IP to come to pressure, and about 10 minutes for natural pressure release.)

Step 6

Carefully open the lid and check the internal temperature of the fish. It should be at least 145°F.

Step 7

Using a silicone mitt, remove the pan with fish and rack.

Step 8

Empty the inner pot and place it back into Instant Pot.

Step 9

Hit “Cancel” and then “Saute” button.

Step 10

Transfer the salmon onto a clean plate, cover with foil to keep warm.

Step 11

Pour in all the liquid and pineapple chunks from pan with salmon into the inner pot in Instant Pot.

Step 12

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of teriyaki sauce. Bring the mixture to a boil and cook until nice and thick, about 3 minutes.

Step 13

Pour the pineapple teriyaki sauce over the salmon fillets and serve with steamed rice.
